NORTH London motorists could be celebrating next week after Camden’s parking wardens reinstated a threat to strike over pay.

A four-day walk-out was due to begin on Monday but public-sector union Unison suspended action to consider a new offer from private contractor NSL.

However at a “mass meeting” on Monday night, workers unanimously rejected the offer.

The enforcement officers are now in a small minority of employees of Camden council and its contractors who are paid less than the London living wage, receiving just £8.92 an hour.

NSL owners AAC Capital Partners initially offered an increase to the current LLW of £9.15.

This rose to £9.27 after negotiations — but the privateer was unwilling to give way further.

Camden Unison secretary George Binette said: “The numbers [who voted to reject the offer] were higher than in the ballot for strike action, so I think there’s a real possibility there will be a strike next week.”

Camden Unison, which represents three-quarters of parking wardens in the borough, said that previous offers would be “effectively bankrolled” by Camden Council, suggesting the company could dip into its profits to pay more.
